How would you go about writing a comic dealing with body issues. It's pretty broad. I would narrow it down and have a specific protagonist. Also, you'd need an antagonist. I'm not entirely sure where you're going with it. I know for me I feel pretty alone a lot because I'm not so much trans as I am intersex. I started growing breasts when I was 11-12. I never really had a male puberty and have kind of languished in between for the 20 years since then but have constantly dealt with people asking why I have breasts, why I look like a lesbian, why I have a woman's ass and leg, and delicate hands, on and on it goes. It's not so much I was born in the wrong body as I was born in the right body but with an effing penis and fused vaginal opening. It's pretty weird. The only person I ever showed it to was my BF and that was because he got all intersted in my stretch marks that run up and down my thighs. My ex used to say i am woman with a birth defect, which is basically the truth. So, I would write it about a hermophrodite, since that's what I am, though more of a pseudo one than true. Those are the techy terms. I idetify as trans though, since I'm undergoing transition. I to F. I know a lot of trans peeps try to fake or exaggerate conditions to be intersex and I don't know why cause it's no different. Well, it's different in a lot of ways, but who cares. Same concept. And that's dysphoria. I mean really in order to tell peeps the difference I'd have to hold a freaking seminar on DNA, genetics, and the translocation of the SRY region in the X chromosome from the father because of...who cares. This is where my BF says I should shut up since it's too deep, weird, and hard to grasp.
Anyway, good luck. This is just my two cents and take what you will. Or take nothing. Hope to see a link one day.
